Abstract

L'invention concerne un récipient de stockage (1) destiné à préparer des mélanges, qui comprend un réservoir avec un goulot et un élément de transport de substances (3) ou (4), monté dans le goulot du récipient de stockage. A l'intérieur de l'élément de transport et d'introduction de substances (3) ou (4), on conserve un gaz et/ou une (des) substance(s) liquide(s) et/ou solide(s) que l'on veut mélanger au milieu se trouvant à l'intérieur du récipient. Lors du stockage, l'élément de transport et d'introduction de substances (3) ou (4) ainsi que le récipient de stockage (1) sont obturés par un capuchon de fermeture (3). On peut, uniquement lors de l'ouverture du récipient, faire tourner l'élément d'introduction de substances (3) ou (4) au moyen du capuchon de fermeture (3) pour passer d'une position de fermeture à une position de libération, la position dudit élément dégageant les languettes (2) à l'intérieur du goulot. En position de libération, l'élément d'introduction de substances (3) ou (4) se trouve à l'intérieur du récipient de stockage (1). L'invention concerne également un procédé d'introduction d'un gaz et/ou d'une (de) substance(s) liquide(s) et/ou solide(s) dans un milieu que renferme le récipient de stockage (1), ladite introduction se faisant en même temps que l'ouverture. Lors de l'ouverture du récipient de stockage (1), la force de friction ou une cavité (11) ou une manette tournante (13) du capuchon de fermeture (5) fait passer l'élément de transport et d'introduction de substances (3) ou (4) de la position de fermeture à la position de libération; de cette manière, la (les) substance(s) conservée(s) séparément dans l'élément de transport et d'introduction de substances (3) ou (4) entre(nt) en contact avec le milieu se trouvant à l'intérieur du récipient de stockage (1).
